The Needs of Quality Education 
There is no doubt, with the global economic development and strong social competition, the State Ministry 
of Education pays much attention to quality education. How to follow the step of development of quality 
education in English teaching? The answer is that multimedia is one of the ways to promote the development of 
quality education. Multimedia English language teaching can enable students to be involved in a variety of 
sensory organ in the learning process and stimulate the students in the corresponding cortical function area. This 
stimulation is favor of understanding and memorizing knowledge, produces better learning outcomes, and 
improves classroom efficiency, thus breaking the traditional English teaching. Multimedia English teaching 
provides a good educational platform and adds vigor for quality education, enabling students to change and 
update their thinking from the traditional teaching, thereby enhancing the quality of all aspects. 
The Needs of Students’ Cognitive Mental 
Cognitive psychology studies have shown that 94% of the information learned through the visual and 
auditory access, of which 88% is obtained through the vision, 12% through hearing. It is obviously that the visual 
organs are the most important informed organs of human (WANG, 1992). Under the present circumstances, only 
the multimedia teaching system can fully mobilize the students’ audio-visual and other sensory organs, and thus 
get the best of the cognitive effect. Therefore, using multimedia teaching is very necessary, especially in English 
teaching; only effective co-ordination of multimedia can better complete the teaching task. 
The Multimedia Teaching 
Many studies have shown that many students are tired of traditional English classes, and are interested in 
new style learning. They have positive attitude towards computer technology used in the classroom, and such 
technology does have a positive impact, because multimedia teaching have many advantages over other media in 
English teaching.
